Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable pet lover!
I have been caring for my family's dogs since I was 8 years old (at least!). I have taken care of dogs of a variety of breeds, sizes (small to very large), and ages (puppies to elderly dogs), and I have experience with dogs who require specialized attention due to medical and age-related conditions, extreme anxiety, behavioral challenges (such as leash-reactivity), or house training. I enjoy getting to know each dog and their particular personalities and quirks!
Cat care experience
Thomas also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Beyond providing for the essentials like food and water, regular bathroom breaks, and safety, I am very attentive to a pet's individual needs and strive to make them feel safe and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Thomas is a fantastic pet sitter. He sent us pictures and updates, left our house super clean and was so great with our anxious dog. We will absolutely be hiring him again.
Thomas did a fantastic job taking care of our senior pup Hippo and we will definitely rebook with him in the future. We just moved to the area and were nervous about our first trip away due to our pup’s health issues, but Thomas put those anxieties to rest with his excellent care and consistent updates. Thomas made sure Hippo got his meds on time and sent us pictures/updates daily. He stayed in our home and left everything in great shape. Very happy with his services!
I can’t recommend Thomas highly enough! He took wonderful care of both our dog and our home while we were away. He was incredibly responsible, attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that everything was in such capable hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was absolutely spotless. Having someone stay in your home and care for a beloved pet requires a lot of trust, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would have him back in a heartbeat and feel incredibly lucky to have found him. Anyone who books him should feel very confident that their pets and home will be exceptionally well cared for.
Thomas stayed with my dogs for a week while I was out of town. He sent regular updates and was very responsive. He was great with the dogs and left my place tidy and clean! Highly recommend his services!
Thomas did an excellent job walking and giving our dogs attention. We have a pittie and hound dog mix. Both can be high energy at times and Thomas walked both of them together with ease. He also gave them play time in the yard if they still had energy. I really appreciated his use of the report card, attaching photos and notes for the day. I was at total ease during my business trip. I knew my pups were happy and tired after a midday play date with Thomas. I would 1000% use him again and recommend him to others.
Thomas was once again outstanding. Our dog had an amazing time with him and he sent updates every day while we were away. He was even flexible enough to stay an extra day due to travel issues. You will not be disappointed picking him!
